I remember seeing a proposal that would "tax" in CPU usage rather than $. The sender would need to perform a computationally complex challenge in order to successfully deliver the message, thus significantly slowing down bulk emailers.

This is a better idea and one which people can adopt gradually. Pay-per-email would never work since initial adopters would just lose customers to ISPs that don't charge.
